Address Research

What is it?

You can request an address search from the municipality in the following cases:

  • Someone is registered at your address who does not live there.
  • Someone has a letter address at your address and you can no longer reach that person.
  • Someone has a letter address at your address and you want to revoke your permission for the letter address.

What to do?

You can contact them by phone at 040-289 38 93 during town hall opening hours.

How does it work?

You can request an address search if you are the owner, tenant or co-occupant of the property. You can also revoke an address search.

What do I need?

  • Your valid ID.
  • Proof that you own or rent the property, such as a purchase or rental contract.
  • Do you know the person involved? If so, please also provide that person's name, date of birth and phone number.

How long does it take?

  • An address investigation takes up to 12 weeks.
  • You will be notified of the results of the examination.
  • The municipality may deregister or register someone at a new address after the investigation.
